About Avalere Health
At Avalere Health, our mission is clear: to make EVERY PATIENT POSSIBLE. Our integrated services—Advisory, Medical, and Marketing—work together to ensure that every patient is identified, supported, treated, and cared for equally.

Fulfilling this mission begins with offering meaningful, purpose-driven careers that empower our team to make a real difference in patients’ lives. We foster a culture where employees are encouraged to be their authentic selves and leverage their diverse backgrounds and skills to contribute to our shared goal.

We offer a flexible work model that allows our global teams to choose where they work—whether from home or in the office—based on team and client needs. Our major hubs in London, Manchester, Washington, D.C., and New York, along with smaller offices worldwide, serve as collaborative spaces. Remote employees are equally supported with dedicated social events and resources.

Inclusivity is central to our culture. We support our employees through six Employee Network Groups—Diverse Ability, Family, Gender, LGBTQ+, Mental Health, and Race/Ethnicity—which offer opportunities to connect, learn, and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a Fertility Friendly accredited employer, we offer a supportive environment with a fertility policy, enhanced parental leave, and flexible work options to meet family needs.

We are committed to professional development through daily learning opportunities, thousands of on-demand training sessions, regular career discussions, and the potential for global and cross-functional career growth.

As a proud member of the Disability Confident Scheme, we ensure fair interview opportunities for candidates with disabilities, long-term health conditions, or neurodiverse needs. Applicants can request accommodations during the application process.
